Well, my Final Four prediction has been dashed with Duke's loss to Michigan State last night. It means only three of my Final Four teams have made it to the Elite Eight: Illinois, North Carolina, and Louisville.
As matter of fact, I'm happy that Michigan State won last night because now there are three teams--along with Wisconsin and Illinois--representing the Big Ten Conference in the Elite Eight. The much-touted ACC only managed to send one, North Carolina--barely. To all the Big Ten detractors and naysayers out there, eat your heart out!
Also, it was a magical run for the UW-Milwaukee Panthers and I hope that this will continue to be a perennial performance in the years to come.
At the rate the tourney is going in right now, I sure would love to see an all-Big Ten Final, maybe between Wisconsin and Illinois. Man, that would be sweet!
